As between Sharp and Sharps jury the tables
were turned yesterday. A week ago Sharp was
allowed to go to his home for several hours,
but the jurors remained indoors all day. Yes
terday the jurors had a comfortable outing,
while the defendant was kept in CLOSE confine-
ment, although visited by his wife and daugh-
ter. Taking all things into account would
not the average New Yorker greatly prefer
the jury's situation and prospects
Considerable space is given today to the nc
ports of baccalaureate sermons. The ore which
will attract the most attention Is the first ad-
dress of this sort given by President Dwight
at Yale His sermon was short, telling and
practical and had the appropriate text, "Arise
let us go hence.s Other baccalaureate sermons
were delivered by President Bartlett at Dart
mouth, President Carter at Williams, and Pres
ident Cheney at Bates. The latter went a
little out of the beaten track, and had some
thing to say about politics at home, Queen
Victoria's half century on the throne and
Home Rule for Ireland.
Many admirers Of Mr.. Bcecher have felt i'm
pcIled to doubt the wisdom of the committee
which decided that the best site for the statue
of tho preacher was the City Hall Park in
Brooklyn. A new site is now suggested
the tiny park on Columbia Heights at the head
of Orange-st. This is close by the house where
Mr.. Boccher lived for many years and only a
block or two from Plymouth Church A statue
there would occupy commanding position
and overlook the Bay That site would nat
nrally be preferred by Mr. Beecher's parish
ioners and his personal friends in that part o.
the city. 1t is far preferable to the City Hal
Park But it is quarter that probably nine
tcnths Of the people of Brooklyn do not visi
once year. AS the statue is to DO erected BY
BROOKLYN and not by Plymouth Church alone
doubtless the greatest satisfaction would b.
given il Prospect Park were chosen as thu
place for it to stand.
One of Secretary Lamar's strong points, II
the eyes Of those who urge his elevation Il
the bench of the Supreme Court, is that he il
man of equable disposition, judicial tempera
mcnt and remarkable freedom from passion
These aae probably good things for Judg
70 haye-and for other men, too; but is it Ger
tain that Mr. Lamar possesses them He ma.
have acquired them in his later life, but dis
patch from Washington makes it clear that h
was not overstocked in that particular sixteeI
years ago. 1t appears that in 1871 the presen
Sccrctarys passions so far got the better o
him in Mississippi courtroom that he knocked
down United States Marshal and precipitatet
. furious row. He was disbarred for his un
seemly conduct although tho penalty was re
United in a short time. Mr.. Lamar may hav
undergone personal reconstruction since then
but for a man who is asserted to be eminen
for freedom from ebulhtions Of passion thi
episode has bad look.
The effect of tho General Terms decision
on the Sunday Excise law was apparent Oh
